    This location is unlike no other...there's no indoor or outdoor seating. It's mainly for quick pick up orders or drive thru orders. It's a cute little spot on pch right near the Dana Point Harbor. I personally like to order ahead, pull up near the window and then take my drink/snack over to the harbor and enjoy the views. It's good to note that there's limited parking and the spots are 10 minutes only. This is definitely made for a quick experience! But, staff are always super friendly!

    They do not fill your drink up. I ordered two medium hot drinks. What I received were two small drinks in medium cups. There was at least 2.5 inches of space in the cup left, even with whip! It's a rip off!!

    This location is always consistent with the quality and preparation of their drinks 10/10!! Workers are polite and friendly. I love it's near the beach and that this location closes later than other Starbucks around.

    This Starbucks location is by far the one with the best customer service. Generally, most of the Starbucks locations I've visited have good customer service but this morning's drive-up experience was far superior. The young lady welcomed us on the drive-up speakers with a cheery, "Good morning!" It was genuine and sweet but not overdone! While placing my orders, she made short remarks such as, "Oh, that's really good!" And that made me smile. Once I drove up to the window, there she was with her enthusiastic spirit and positive energy at 5:30 am! While waiting for our drinks and hot breakfast items, she even flashed us a smile by bringing down her mask. It may offend others to be maskless but, for me, I appreciated the gesture in showing a smile even for a brief moment! She even asked what our day plans would be and she gave the right response. Her customer service went above and beyond and I wish I got her name. She was excellent and I would love if other Starbucks employees would model after her. What a great asset to the Starbucks team! :) Thank you, young lady!

    The service was fast. The ambiance was like your regular Starbucks and the drinks were made perfectly. Would go back!

    This location is questionable. I have gone in the past to order my favorite drink, the cinnamon dolce latte, when it first came out for the holidays and they told me they were out of this drink for the season. Then my partner goes back about a week later (not knowing they told me they were out of my fav drink) and they made it for him. So im assuming they were too lazy to make it or they didn't know how to. Today my partner went to go get a venti caramel macchiato upside down , and it was more like a grande . When they handed him the drink he could tell it felt like it was emptier than usual and when he asked them if they made it a venti because it felt like less, the girl gave him attitude!

    The third day in a row that the lid was not properly tightened onto the cup. Nice $200 mistake. Wish you guys could see the damage to my car. Oh & it left a nice burn on my stomach. Thanks!!!

    They fixed my drink no questions asked. Good staff

It is on the smaller side with no indoor seating, but there are tables available outside which is nice if you're enjoying the weather. They had a selection of pastries that looked delicious, including pistachio croissants, danishes, and other pastries, although we didn't end up trying any of them. The drinks menu had a lot of unique options that all sounded great, which made it difficult to choose. Unfortunately, the service took away from the experience. We were the only customers ordering at the time, and since there were five of us trying to decide on our drinks, it naturally took a few minutes. The employee taking our order repeatedly asked if we were ready and seemed very rushed, which made us feel pressured to hurry up instead of enjoying the ordering process. I've worked in fast food and restaurants before, so I understand that customer service can be challenging, but being welcoming and patient goes a long way. A little more friendliness would have made a big difference. As for the drinks, they were good overall. I ordered the honey latte and really enjoyed the flavor. My only note is that I got it with whole milk, and the milk had a slightly funky, almost cheesy aftertaste that I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was noticeable. Overall, Coco Bloom has a great location, cute drinks, and pastries that look promising. I would gladly return, but I do think the customer service could use some improvement. With a more welcoming experience, this easily could have been a 5-star visit.

I'll be back to Coffee Importers soon--it's a great place in DP for a morning coffee and pastry and hopefully the "regulars" don't ruin it for everyone else. Original review: I want to love this place and it bums me out to have to write this, but this is one of the least welcoming places in DP. Not because the staff is rude. But because they allow this clique of regulars to take over the outside patio and harass people who aren't in their group. I've watched it happen a few times now, but today was the worst. A woman with a little kid sat down at an unoccupied table and started having their food. A couple of minutes later an older gentleman walked up and began verbally accosting her, getting in her space and demanding that she leave because he's been coming here for 35 years and this is his table. He kept accosting her until she was crying and took her child and moved tables. A few people tried to comfort this poor woman and her little kid. This guy was 1000% in the wrong. But staff didn't do anything. Instead, they walked up to the guy, said hi to him (of course, in a first name basis) and were friendly as anything. But not a word to the woman crying and trying to distract her toddler. Gross. It's not just this one guy either. There are at least a dozen of these "regulars" and Coffee Importers doesn't appear to do anything to stop them from harassing people, and actually seems to be fostering this environment.

First of all the line is out the door and it takes about 30 minutes to order your coffee. There aren't any menus throughout along the way and it's really hard to determine what is actually on their menu until you get inside of the coffee shop because most of their drinks on Yelp and Instagram are seasonal. When I was finally able to order, I ordered two different coffees because I wasn't sure what I was going to like given the coffee shop states all of their syrups are made in house. I think that's why the coffee didn't have any flavor and I didn't like it. The staff was nice enough to remake my drink, but even the second drink tasted like it didn't have any syrup in it and tasted like a regular latte. There is very limited seating inside of the coffee shop, merch is $30+ and you should be prepared for long waits.
